  • Trying something (a sort of challenge) I haven’t done before since first getting into the series: going a whole calendar year without watching any Bond movies. Three months down, and I’m good so far. I plan on sustaining myself with rereads of the n…
  • I haven’t been a fan of some of his latest stuff, but I’m always willing to give Cronenberg a chance. He’s done a number of films I love, namely Videodrome, The Fly, Existenz, Crash, A History of Violence, The Brood, and The Dead Zone.
  • It’s a bit off topic, but Batman Begins - The Prestige - The Dark Knight was definitely Nolan’s peak me for me. Didn’t wander too far into his Nolan-ish-ness yet.
  • Thursday From a View to a Kill - 16 For Your Eyes Only - 15 Quantum of Solace - 7 Risico: 17 The Hildebrand Rarity: 17 (+1) Octopussy: 12 (-2) The Property of a Lady - 15 The Living Daylights - 20 Eliminated: 9. 007 in New York
  • Agreed that being a fan doesn’t equal success when creating. It may even be high risk / high reward for a director to come on board that has never seen any Bond films and doesn’t know as much, for the sake of freshness. As long as the producers over…
  • Just a rumor for now, but I would be extremely stoked if Clayface was the lead baddie.

  • Off the top of my head, Spielberg’s A.I., The Fox and the Hound, Dumbo, del Toro’s Pinocchio, Grave of the Fireflies. Animation tends to make me most emotional.
  • Maybe Bond, another 00, or MI6 at large is convincingly framed by AI / a villain who used it, and that sets off the plot.
  • Wow. Has it ever happened before that literally every single first minus vote possible went to the same one contestant before elimination? Wednesday From a View to a Kill - 16 For Your Eyes Only - 16 (+1) Quantum of Solace - 11 (-2) Risico:…
  • I tell you all what. I wish we could just enjoy movies without all this nonsense.
  • I love the short stories almost as much as the novels! Tuesday From a View to a Kill - 16 For Your Eyes Only - 16 Quantum of Solace - 15 Risico: 16 (+1) The Hildebrand Rarity - 15 Octopussy - 15 The Property of a Lady - 15 The Living Da…

  • I’m the kind of person that has to see / do everything for completion sake, so even if a new Bond movie looked terrible for whatever reason, I’d have to watch it at least once. Because I’m younger QOS was my first one at the theater, which was the f…
  • To make it clear, my biggest gripe is with that guy from Utah literally wanting it banned altogether, full stop. Keeping pre-teens from getting into porn is a worthy cause, but the solution to such a thing seems very difficult.
  • Considering I write lots of porn (softcore, mind you), the prospect of losing everything especially is personal to me. My guess, or hope, is that would be a step too far to be taken. I can’t imagine it’d go any better than prohibition.
  • Benny has all my respect for what he does here. He’s put me in my place before rightfully and this site needs the moderation it does. Things can get overly hostile or ugly fast, always best to nip things in the bud.

  • Speaking as someone else who loves to write fiction, I know I need breaks sometimes, and sometimes long ones at that with no writing. I come back readier and stronger for having that time off. This is especially applicable if it’s concerning the sam…
  • Personally, I feel like 3-year gaps are the sweet spot of being not too soon or long for the next adventure.
  • That is awesome!

  • It was awesome to see how quickly my CR copy was shipped! But I’m guessing the wait will still be quite a while since I’m in the U.S. Does anyone have experience with this on how long it takes?

  • I’m not going to lie, I miss when it seemed like more people were able to contextualize things and separate fiction from reality. I’m plenty worried what direction(s) the character and series could go in next. If Bond is no longer a womanizer, for i…
  • I’m mostly hopeful about it. It really wouldn’t make sense to leave the stories out at this point with how short it is already. I understand the original printing came without the latter two, but this is an area I think most wouldn’t mind Folio not …
  • I should hope that won’t be the case. It’d be deeply upsetting to collect all these expensive books and never have a truly “complete” collection. Perhaps I should wait a while before ordering more.
  • I still love the first one. Jean Reno elevates everything he is in. Right now my thinking is: 1. Ghost Protocol 2. Fallout 3. Mission: Impossible 4. Rogue Nation 5. Mission Impossible 3 6. Mission Impossible 2 Bottom 2 in order as they ar…
  • The first three are far more rewatchable for me. I’ve probably seen CR the most still, then QOS, then SF. SP more than NTTD still, but honestly a lot of this is because of when they were released. But yeah, any of the first three I’d be a lot more l…
  • Awesome, good deal. I was counting on these being my “definitive” editions. The paperbacks I have now will likely be kept for travel reading; they get the job done fine, but I did want something more nice like Folio. Much nicer art and having the ha…
  • @Birdleson I appreciate the heads up; tempering expectations is a good thing! For their priciness I did go with just CR for now, and in case I ended up not being as into it as I thought I might. As a longtime fan, do you feel this is still one of th…
